Verse 1
[G] [C]
I came in from the outside
[G]
Burnt out from the joy ride
[Bm7] [C]
She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway
[G] [C]
Played from the bedside
[G] [C]
Is "Stella By Starlight"
[Bm7]
"That Was My Heart"...
[C]
The drums that start off "Night And Day"
Pre-Chorus 1
[Em7] [E7sus2] [C] [G]
The same kind of music haunts her bedroom
[Em7] [E7sus2] [C]
I'm almost me again, she's almost you
Chorus
[Em7] [D] [C] [G]
I wouldn't know where to start
[Em7] [D] [C] [G]
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
[Em7] [D] [C] [G]
Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
[G] [Bm7] [C] [G]
Don't ruin this on me
[Em7] [D] [C] [G]
I wouldn't know where to start
[Em7] [D] [C] [G]
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
[Em7] [D] [C] [G]
Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
[G] [Bm7] [C] [G]
Don't ruin this on me
Verse 2
[G] [C]
Tell me who, and I'll be thanking them
[G]
The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington
[Bm7] [C]
Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft
[G]
As Chet can sing "Let's Get Lost"
[C]
And "Let The Good Times Roll"
[G]
Let "Smoke Rings" from this "Paper, Doll"
[Bm7]
Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of
"It Don't Mean A Thing"
Pre-Chorus 2
[Em7] [E7sus2] [C] [G]
I've got some colour back, she thinks so, too
[Em7] [E7sus2] [C]
I laugh like me again, she laughs like you
Chorus
[Em7] [D] [C] [G]
I wouldn't know where to start

Be still "My Foolish Heart,"

I wouldn't know where to start
[Em7] [D] [C] [G]
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
[Em7] [D] [C] [G]
Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
[G] [Bm7] [C] [G]
Don't ruin this on me
Bridge
[Bm] [Am] [G]
I wouldn't know where
[C] [G]
I wouldn't know where
[Bm] [Am] [G]
I wouldn't know where
[C]
I wouldn't know where
[G]
I wouldn't
[Em7] [C] [Em7]
I wouldn't know where
[Em7] [C] [Em7]
I wouldn't know where
[Em7] [D] [C] [Bm7]
I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where
[C]
I wouldn't know
Verse 3
[G] [C]
"The Very Thought Of You" and "Am I Blue"?
[G]
"A Love Supreme" seems far removed
[Bm7] [C]
"I Get Along Without You Very Well," some other nights
[G] [C]
The radio news reader chimes
[G]
Reporting "Russian Lullabies"
[Bm7] [C] [G]
She'll turn to me awake and ask, Is everything "Alright"
Chorus

Don't ruin this on me
